I Didn’t Realize What I Was Missing - Until I Left this Shop | 20

When the job starts draining you, sometimes the best move is walking away. Here’s what happened next.

Burnout doesn’t hit all at once — it builds slowly, especially in high-pressure work environments. In this episode, we talk about what it really feels like to hit that point, why one of us finally decided to leave a demanding job, and what life is like on the other side.

We also dive into bigger questions:
– What makes a healthy work culture?
– How do you keep a team motivated without burning them out?
– And how can leaders build shops people actually want to work in?

This isn’t just a story about machining — it’s about finding balance, building better workplaces, and making hard choices for the right reasons.
